Students encouraged to recycle glass in new competition
University first year students in three key sites – York, Cardiff and Oxford, with 32,000 fresher students in total - are being urged to get recycling.
BRITONS URGED TO ‘TOAST THE HEALTH’ OF SEAS IN NEW CAMPAIGN AS THREE OUT OF FOUR CHOOSE GLASS
7 June 2018
On the eve of World Oceans Day, Friends of Glass is inviting everyone to raise their glass to the health of our seas with the launch of the ‘Endless Ocean’ campaign. According to a recent survey carried out by the Friends of Glass community, three out of four Britons rate glass as the most ocean-friendly packaging choice.
POST-BLUE PLANET II SHOPPERS CHOOSE GLASS
The impact of last autumn’s BBC Blue Planet II series, which raised serious concerns about the poor state of our marine systems and oceans, continues to have a profound effect on public attitudes and behaviour. As people try to make more sustainable choices to protect the oceans, glass packaging – famously 100% recyclable and non-toxic - is proving to be a hit with shoppers, as revealed in a new survey by Friends of Glass.
Is more always better?
We’re delighted when people want to recycle more glass – but putting all the glass types found around your home into your household recycling bin or local bottle and jar bank is actually counterproductive.
Does glass really get recycled?
A recent poll revealed that some people don’t bother recycling because they don’t think the material will actually be recycled. We can assure you that this is not true for glass! Glass is never rubbish – it’s a valuable resource. Here are four good reasons to believe that every bottle and jar you use really can and should go on to have another useful life.
Seasonal gift ideas for under £30
As much as we love Christmas, it can turn into a season of excess and waste. To counter this, we’ve come up with some great healthy and sustainable gifts.
Winning on waste
Friends of Glass has been running a competition with Portsmouth City Council to highlight how important and easy it is to recycle glass bottles and jars. We’re pleased to be able to announce the winners – three local residents, the city itself and the planet!
Top 5 new glass bottles and jars
We think glass is great for good reasons - being 100% recyclable and good for protecting food and our health. But sometimes it’s just the clever and creative design in glass that get us excited.
Brightening up Portsmouth Glass Banks!
If you’re going to be in Portsmouth, keep an eye out for some new, space invader themed glass banks. There are six of them, and if you send in a photograph of yourself with them, you could win a share of £250 worth of Love to Shop vouchers.
Recycle Week message matters
Glass is great when it comes to recycling. All bottles and jars are 100% recyclable and just about every part of the country has a system in place for households to recycle their glass packaging when it’s finished with.
What goes around, comes around.
It’s Recycle Week and this year’s theme - What goes around comes around - inspires us to enjoy the benefits of creating a circular economy - where we make, use and recycle. This is in contrast to the unsustainable make, use, discard linear economy. Recycle Week is great opportunity to learn more, find ways to recycle more, and get more people involved.
